Well, this shocked me. I thought Gisele Bundchen was probably done with having babies, but no, she is not done. Gisele is pregnant with her third child, her first with boyfriend Joaquim Valente. Gisele has been seeing Joaquim for over two years by my calculations – he started out as her friend and jiu-jitsu instructor, then it blossomed into a relationship. Joaquim is, to my knowledge, the only person Gisele has dated since her divorce from Tom Brady.
Gisele Bündchen is pregnant! The model, 44, and boyfriend Joaquim Valente, 35, are expecting their first baby together, Bündchen’s third, a source close to Bündchen confirmed to PEOPLE on Monday, Oct. 28.
“Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they’re looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family,” the source tells PEOPLE in a statement.
Bündchen has been dating the Jiu-Jitsu instructor since June 2023. Their baby will join Bündchen’s son Benjamin Rein, 14, and daughter Vivian Lake, 11, who she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady.
Bündchen, who served as a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 1999 until 2006, was notably absent from the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show held on Oct. 15, despite a variety of past Angels’ returns.
Bündchen and Valente were first spotted together in November 2022, when the pair visited Provincia de Puntarenas (a province located on Costa Rica’s coast) with her two kids. After originally denying a romantic relationship with her trainer, a love connection later blossomed between the pair, and in February 2024, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that Bündchen and Valente have been dating since June 2023.
I forgot that Gisele is 44 years old now. That’s a lot for a 44-year-old body, but I’m sure Gisele sees this as a fresh start with the man she loves. I always thought that Tom probably wanted more kids with Gisele but she was the one saying no. That also makes me wonder if Tom is freaking out about the news. For what it’s worth, TMZ reports that Gisele told Tom and their kids ahead of time, before this announcement. It’s definitely interesting! Anyway, congrats to Gisele and Joaquim.
Also: in photos from September and October, she wore mostly baggier tops. She probably got to a point where she couldn’t hide her bump anymore.

Not to belittle having a baby at 44, but I know a lady who had her last at 52!! 52!!!
Halle Berry was unexpectedly pregnant in her mid to late forties with her son, too. Gisele might be as well, though it could also be planned.
My mom had me at 45, 17 years after her last pregnancy with her first husband.
Wow!
She was probably shocked to find herself pregnant at 44, too. It’s not super common but given how well she takes care of herself, I guess it’s not a total surprise. Congrats to them both!
I wonder if this was an oops?
Late in life babies are very common outside of what would be considered the Western world (US, Canada, Europe, UK, AU, etc.) Also, Gisele is in excellent shape. She eats healthy, works out, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t really drink and doesn’t have massive weight fluctuations; her mom also had six kids – not shocking that she’s pregnant.
What is shocking is people still trying to pretend she wasn’t cheating on her husband AND if gossip is to be believed, her soon to be baby daddy dumped his six months pregnant fairly longterm girlfriend for Gisele.
It is also obvious that their marriage was over way before Tom returned to football. He turned to football to distract him from his failing marriage. I can’t believe anyone actually believes, he randomly went back to football AND THEN Gisele decided to divorce him. She was already over it and it seems he was too.
Brady was freaking out about the divorce. He is absolutely the type of guy who is freaking out about Gisele having a child with the guy she has been dating since she left him.
You mean the man she cheated with while she was married to TB, right?
Did she cheat? The relationship was over for quite sometime, publicly, before the divorce was finalized.
@Steph, I don’t like TB, but there must be some emotional cheating at least, come on. The wife getting with her sports instructor is as cliché as the husband getting with the nanny. They didn’t meet after TB and her were separated.
There is no evidence she cheated.
Was she emotionally checked out of her marriage for months before they announced the divorce? – Yes
Was she DONE with TB breaking yet another promise? – Yes
Does that equate to her cheating? – No
She moved on and never looked back which TB was probably expecting her to do.
I knew their marriage was over when she did the Magazine interview just after he un-retired. She literally told him in that interview and in English that the marriage was on its last legs.
Brady cheated during their marriage, and Gisele stayed married for years after that. She’s richer, more famous worldwide, and put her career on hold for his career. After he reneged, she started getting ready to leave him…if you treat people equally, your comment is odd.
Besides the Ben Affleck nanny (which may have been Ben, or both) – how do we know TB cheated? Always assumed as much, though.
I have no love for Tom Brady but I’m team Tom on this issue— if (and we don’t know it’s true) my partner told me i had to quit a job I loved and excelled at, that demand would not go over well. I would not quit my job. If I promised to quit and then changed my mind, I’d be 100% comfortable with that choice and would think of the demand as the betrayal, not my mind-change.
@Meredith, you are right. However, this is exactly what Gisele did for their family. She stopped working when she was still in high demand as a model. So, she expected some sacrifice from her husband too for their family. Besides, TB was already at the end of his career and we know how dangerous this game is to the players. When he changed his mind and continued playing, she walked away, which is her right.
@Meredith, Gisele also gave up at least a decade of her modelling career to raise their two children. Maybe they had an understanding that she would stay home until he retired at 40, and then she would get to go back to a career that she loves?
And yes, TB was still excellent as a quarterback, but he was starting to take some dangerous hits. If the job you excelled at might cause you a traumatic brain injury, I think your family should be involved in the decision, because it will ultimately affect them, too. Not to mention, his “unretirement” after just over a month meant a sudden move to Florida for the whole family. Yes, they can certainly afford it, but you can’t convince me that he thought of anyone other than himself when he accepted that offer.
I didn’t think the issue was that Gisele demanded he quit – I thought it seemed like they made a joint decision that he would quit (whether she demanded that or not) – i.e. his first retirement announcement – and then he was like “sorry no I’m going back.” His job was really hard physically especially as he aged and took a huge chunk of time away from the family, AND he didnt’ really have anything left to prove at that stage. He’s the GOAT. I can see her throwing up her hands and being like you know what, I’m done.
Even if she cheated…. Private jet with B. Affleck and his nanny and some other women many years before G’s new man was in the picture….
Lol. Casting Tom Brady in that role is quite the choice…
It is crazy to think how different her life would be if TB stuck with his retirement decision. I don’t think he would care that much about this as people think. If he really cared about her, he would stay at home with his family.
^
Whatever feeling TB is having, he only has to look in his own mirror for what set in motion GB leaving.
It makes me think of a the Taylor Swift song Exile
“I’m not your problem anymore
So who am I offending now?”
GB’s not his business anymore, aside from co-parenting, her life choices aren’t his to worry about … he can go mind his own.
This is most likely the answer as to why she didn’t walk the VS Fashion Show.
P.S. I saw that Tom Brady posted a picture of a sunset to his Stories with lyrics from Landslide. In response? Who knows.
Well it is a shock but she seems very happy so I will wish her well.
Every comedian at Tom Brady’s roast was right about Giselle. How do you go from dating the greatest actor of his generation- Leo, to dating the GOAT of football–Tom, to dating and getting pregnant by a lowly jitsu teacher who is shorter than you, and has no $$$????
Maybe he is a great guy who treats her well, unlike Leo forever chasing models in their 20’s and Tom choosing playing ball over his family.
Sweet mercy. Leo is a great actor. TB is a great football player. Neither look like great partners.
Giselle looks happy. Her body. Her choice. Sigh … She looks like she has a partner who doesn’t make her play second fiddle during football season. Good for her.
Most women (especially with their own $) don’t look at men simply for their bank balance.
Lol, Tom Brady that u? Maybe the shorter jitsu teacher treats her better?
Leo, still chasing 25 year olds at his big age and Tom, whose actual soulmate is football? Yeah, huge losses there 🙄
She doesn’t need her bf to have money, she has her own and a ton of it. Even if this dude took half her money and it didn’t work out (I doubt it something tells me Giselle protects her assets – I remember reading somewhere that she kept her own money and Brady paid for the house etc.) she’d still be more than fine! It’s not like she’d have to give up half of $80,000. She is rich AF.
Her regular guy got his dream girl no doubt, good for him – hopefully he doesn’t f** it up. Imagine choosing football over your wife and family after a LONG ass successful career and how many Super Bowl rings – she figured out dude just doesn’t want to be home to do the day to day with her. He was in a position to retire and instead un-retired, then signed a deal to do broadcasting and basically ensure he is never home. Well now he can be home alone taking his lame underoo selfies for Gronk.
Underoo selfies!!! I spit out my coffee at that snark. Lol.
Lol thank you! I love your user name Ms single malt!
Wow. So much to unpack here. Leo was never going to be a serious long term partner. She moved on, he didn’t. Brady was always about football and broke his promises. She moved on. Maybe for once she has a partner that will prioritize her and family first
100%. Also this guy is hotter than Brady.
People are more than their jobs. Sure, he may not be as successful as her exes but for all we know he’s probably a much better man and partner and that’s ultimately all that matters.
Maybe he treats her better than either of those two did?
Leo wasn’t willing to commit to marriage, so she played that right, and Tom not only welched on their agreement he’d retire, but risked brain injury continuing, so she played that right too. Her jujitsu instructor is probably NOT an egomaniac, but a guy who will prioritize their little family’s happiness. You sound like you have a really skewed idea of marital “success”…
I have no problem with G’s current choice of partners (although both Leo and Tom seem insufferable so the new guy probably isn’t amazing either) but as for Tom’s brain, the damage from sub-concussive impacts has undoubtedly long, long been present; one extra year or one less year is unlikely to matter.
Well, that’s just plain mean. He might not have millions but that doesn’t mean he’s low value. You’re making it seem like she’s chosen a poo pie over ambrosia. Maybe he’s a great guy, treats her really well and shares her same values?
By your logic, Elon Muskrat would be a catch. HELL NO HARD PASS.
There’s more to falling in love than a big bank account and being taller than you. Maybe he’s a decent, kind, respectful and caring guy — someone quite unlike TB for instance.
The new bf has his own jiu-jitsu academy with his brothers. He may be far from Gisele-rich but he’s not out begging in the streets either
Do people have collective amnesia? It was a running (and accurate) joke for years that Gisele’s modeling contracts were bigger than Brady’s with the Pats. And that was with her scaling down working.
Even now the sports bros joke that one way to build a Super Bowl roster is to ’do a Brady’ and hope that if your star player is with a woman richer than they are, they’ll take a team-friendly deal so you can pay your other players. Like… we just had all those jokes about Kelce ‘doing a Brady’ 12 months ago when Taylor and he got together.
What has shocked me in the three places I’ve read this news is the people making all these claims about how she cheated, she fumbled Tom, etc.
Y’all.
Let’s revisit the timeline-
She was/is the GOAT and was higher paid than he was. Her career was on fire for years – just like his. This was not a “she got lucky” situation. At best, it was two equally GOATed professionals marrying.
2020-Tom is already getting feedback from Giselle about his work/life balance and lack of presence with the kids. She felt like she was expected to do all the family work. He SAID this.
2021-Wins the Super Bowl with TB. There’s rumors of retirement, but he comes back.
2021-2022-loses, retires in February. Unretires in March and shit hits the fan ALL summer. There’s rumors upon rumors, and a ton of unofficial statements that appear to be from her camp that the unretirement is an issue.
August of 2022-he disappears for a month.
October of 2022-they file for divorce.
She didn’t cheat, she didn’t make a mistake. HE committed to retirement, to being present for their family, to stop sacrificing his body and his health to play well beyond what is normal for even elite QBs. He went back on those commitments and expected her to just continue to manage the household and be fine with it.
Having a baby at 44? No thank you. But it’s her choice, and Brady is probably feeling some kind of way because HE fumbled. Not her.
Thank you!!! Exactly this The HufflepuffLizLemon! Let’s not forget how he embarrassed his wife with the whole nanny in the footies on a private plane with Ben Affleck sporting his Super Bowl rings. The whole thing made my left eye twitch, even if he didn’t sleep with the nanny (I won’t pretend to know what happened) this isn’t how a family man/husband behaves.
I’m glad Giselle found love and I think it says a lot she didn’t date another high profile guy. She dealt with Leo and Tom and she has probably arrived at the conclusion that these highly successful men come with a sh** ton of baggage and are exhausting. So she got a regular guy. Hopefully he doesn’t take her for granted like her ex husband did.
I am also a no to a baby at 44 and I’m older than that. 44 seems young to me right now lol – but yeah Jack Bauer himself wouldn’t have knocked me up at 44, but she obviously wanted another baby.
OMG I always forget Christie O with the Super Bowl rings on the private jet. (Another commenter joked on Pajiba it’s like a game of clue-what killed Tom’s marriage? It wasn’t the martial arts instructor with the lessons in Brazil, that’s for damn sure.)
My autocorrect hates Chrissie’s name
Thank you hufflepufflizlemon. 💯
Yes, thank you!
Tom Brady is neither the hero nor the victim of this story.
Thank you!
I love how some people here are acting like she didn’t need to have more in her marriage outside of money. He sucked because he left all of the childcare to her. I assume that meant everything including having to parent solo when the kids had behavioral issues or just acted out. I would have been done too.
+1000
In his Facebook documentary Gisele says that he promised her that she would retire at 30. He changed his mind, and she accepted it, so on and so on. She supported him and she wasn’t getting the support back from him. I don’t blame her for being tired of the delay of after football life. I don’t care that TB is heartbroken, but I understand it and empathize. I
Congratulations to Gisele & Joaquim! I’m sure he’s very excited for his first child. I hope Viv and Ben are excited too. As for how Tom feels, who gives af? He chose football over his marriage. He’ll deal.
I would NOT want to be pregnant at 44 but I’m not a rich super model either. Congrats to them both.
Yea I wouldn’t either but she’s also in amazing physical condition and has the money for any help she wants afterwards
To start all over with diapers, midnight feedings, colic, while raising pre-teens Ugh! Bless her heart, this certainly isn’t a decision I would have made.
I have a feeling, Joaquim is going to be more of a hands on father than TB ever was especially at the beginning.
I’m sure she’ll have nannies to help with the un-fun parts.
It’s different for the rich. They have a whole team of folks picking up the slack.
um what??? She obviously wanted to have a child with someone she loves. Gis loves being a mom. This has nothing to do with spiting Brady
Agree. But she killed two birds with one stone. She gave the man she loves now a baby and she got back at Tom for screwing up their marriage.
Rather odd to view this pregnancy as an act of revenge. Divorced parents often have children with a new partner and if she’s happy that’s all that matters.
This is a very juicy but farfetched take. Gisele is living her best life. She wanted a husband who valued her, her career, and her contribution to building their family. When Tom put himself first, again, by unretiring, she made sure it was the last time. No drama, just the door.
Good for her for knowing her worth, lucky for her having the means to leave his selfish butt in the rear view.
Because she wants to? It’s her life lol
She probably always wanted a third baby but stopped after two with Tom because he wasn’t present in the way she envisioned he would be for the family. Now it seems that she found the person who could be the father she wants for her kid(s) and gets to fulfill her dream of that third baby.
That’s what I was thinking, too.
Tom was clearly *always* about Tom and football. She saw the handwriting on the wall with him long ago, I think. And good for her.
She has the money, the agency, and the freedom to do whatever she damn well wants to do. Good on her. Who cares if he’s short, not rich? She’s always had her own money. If he ends up being a scrub, she’ll be fine then, too. She’s dated and been married to 2 high profile men whose sole concern is themselves. Maybe she’s found someone who wants to be her partner for the first time. I imagine Tom Brady as Narcissus–I’ll bet he spends a better part of each day staring at himself in the mirror, and Leo’s become the skeevy old dude who’s chasing youth through relationships with younger women, which makes him look ridiculous instead of like a baller. The Hugh Hefner days are over, and we know the playboy lifestyle was just sordid fantasy. Good on her if she’s found something new.
Seriously! Why can’t we celebrate a woman who has taken control of her own life and future. When a man does this, no one bats an eye. A woman does this to a football player and she gets all this shit about it being an accident, she downgraded, she was cheating, etc. Heaven forbid it turns out TB is just another d-bag and she was tired of his crap.
GO GIRL! Every woman has the right to be happy and in love. GB did the right thing by leaving TB and I wish her all the best.
Your comments frame Brady/Bunchenden marriage in the present tense. They are divorced. Both have moved on. She is not going to get pregnant out of spite. She has two wonderful children with Tom. They both seem like involved parents. Her current life revolves around what makes her happy. Not what would make the ex unhappy.
I assume because she wanted to? It’s her life, her choice.
Unexpected? A shock? Someone wasn’t using protection . They’re both old enough to know how babies are made.. Sounds like they both wanted this.
I’m not a Gisele fan, but I did not expect all of the weirdly negative comments here for just having a baby with her boyfriend.
It’s funny that, just like Gisele, Hilary Swank has more money than her current husband, and he doesn’t have the money or fame of her first husband. Yet she got nothing but praise on here for her pregnancy announcement, and she was 48 and pregnant with twins.
Meanwhile there are a ton of calls for Brady to be fired after he called Seattle’s.QB a “s—z” while providing commentary. As well as being part owner of the Raiders when nfl rules limit the ability of owners to provide commentary.
WTH? I had to Google this. The use of that word is disgusting! It is a slur and ableist.
Tom Brady can go straight to hell for getting away with it. Fired.
The disabled population has more than enough to deal with.
And don’t even try to tell me that word is OK.
I’m 63 and that word is as dehumanizing and vile as the N word or the K word and everyone who isn’t a complete jackass knows it.
F.O. Brady.
The slurs on the job sounds like a child acting out because of something that troubled/irritates them. Could it be Gisele’s pregnancy hit him hard?
That said, I’m 44, never got married or had kids like I wanted and while being pregnant now or later is not at all something I’m anticipating or looking forward to it’s something I’d see as a surprising opportunity for my dreams but I would struggle. At this point I’d take the husband and open to a bring your own kids situation or adopting older kids. Since she already has kids and this was supposed to be the reignition of her career I don’t think this was planned.🫤
Why wouldn’t she move on and have her relationship of choice with the man that she loves? She can afford a new baby money-wise and health-wise. Her bf seems to be childless and at his age, it’s logical for him to want a kid. She divorced TB more than 2 yrs ago, no need to throw him in the mix.
I have never been a fan of Gisele, but good for her! Maybe she always wanted more kids but TB wasn’t around enough, who knows? Her current guy most likely wanted to have a child of his own, and she’s clearly on board. Being that her current children are aging out of needing Mom all the time, she might be missing have little ones in her life. I hope she and her new dude have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.
2 people with big careers and wealth of their own when they married.
The entire family lived byToms football schedule, including missing Xmas with extended family bc Tom had football to play.
G told him publicly he needed to put the family first and retire.
Now imagine how many years she talked to him privately.
I bet Tom is hit hard by this pregnancy news.
I knows the divorce was his fault. He has no one to blame but himself.
If she is happy now, Best Wishes to her.
Frankly, I expected Tom to be remarried with 3-5 new kids right away, 22 y/o wife.
The new Fella, never mind his job.
When will people stop equalling wealth with worth?
A partner who treats you with kindness, love, helps and supports you in life, that is successful.
I always thought G was the emotional Adult in her relationships with Leo and her marriage with Tom only succeeded bc she did 99.5% of the emotional work.
Credit to G and Bridgette for very good co-parenting with the eldest son Jack.
Those 2 worked together well so that all 3 kids are close.
What can Tom say publicly other than he wishes them well?
It is none of his business anymore. Gotta think he is gutted tho, he honestly ever thought G would divorce him, IMO.
Men have other children/second families all the time with their new (often younger) partners. WHYYYY is this a big deal? Revenge baby? Spite? That is just dumb to read. Have never read that when a man has done the same thing. Yay for her and her new baby and life choices!
Not me thinking my whole life this woman was 15 years older than me only to find out she’s only 4 years older than me 🫣💀 congratulations on her impending arrival!
Oh stop that 3 kids with 2 men BS.
Tom has 3 kids with 2 women, are ya gonna say anything about that? No?
Nick Cannon and Elon Musk have dozens of kids with multiple women.
So does Trump. Trump has 5 kids with 3 women. All of whom he cheated on.
Repeatedly.
👏🏻
I will always remember how abominably he treated Bridget Moynihan. Left here while pregnant…for Gisele.
Tom is not a thoughtful partner and that’s putting it mildly. All he wants to do is play football and doesn’t care about his partners or kids. His actions speak for themselves.
Gisele has every right to move on and find love, and have more kids if she wants.
This is 2024, leave the misogyny about different dads back in the past please, @assf
In fairness to Tom, Bridget didn’t find out she was pregnant until after they had broken up and he was with Gisele.
I honestly don’t care what she does.
Same. I saw the comment count and wondered why this news was getting so much traction but turns out 90% of the comments are actually about Tom Brady lol. Poor Gisele–people need to make her new relationship and baby all about her ex for some reason.
I’m happy for her and her partner.
She gives me douchebag vibes. She always has even when she was a young model.
Celeb gossip used to be fun, funny, fashion, new tv or movies, etc.
G having a new baby is just a nice little celeb item to me.
I wish her the best.
Tell the truth, if you had $400M, would you also not live your best choices for happiness in your private life?
Why do ya think the Lottery still sells tickets? LOL
TB is either gonna end up with some 22 y/o “influencer” and a tribe of new kids like Alec Baldwin or he’ll be have multiple divorces, or alone.
Brady devoted decades of his life to football, decades. His family of origin did too.
He easily could have chosen to retire after SB win #4, #5, #6.
Look at a lot of Ex QBs…. Troy A., Elway, Bradshaw. Lost track of how many romances and marriages Bradshaw has been thru.
Btw, doesn’t G have a twin sister? That must be so weird to be a twin but G is juuuust a bit more model material. LOL
G is rich, she doesn’t have to consider how she’ll manage, she has resources we can dream of to help her in case she needs it. To me it seems she got a chance to have a baby with someone involved, who will actually be there for her and the baby and she gave it a go. Good for her. Hope she now has a partner she wanted Tom to be.
Tom Brady is apparently all in his fee-fees at the news, he posted lyrics from The Chicks version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” on his IG…
“Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?”
“Can the child within my heart rise above?”
“Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?”
LOL, I saw that.
Tom seems to be feeling a bit of remorse, no?
Feelings, woah, woah, woah feelings. LOL
Tough hop, Tom. He only has himself to blame for his marriage ending.
Didn’t G’s Mom pass not long ago?
IIRC, G comes from all sister siblings and has always been a close family.
I’m team G all the way here.
I hope she is happy with the new Fella, new baby, kids, career, her siblings and families.
By 44 if you have the resources and the guts to make a huge change in an effort to be happier, more power to her.
As a child of divorce, im sad to see all the comments debating what Giselle did or didnt do, how Tom does or doesnt feel. Its really none of our business, is a deeply personal matter, and Im QUITE sad to see how callous ppl who report on this, can be. Sad all the way round. The world sucks.
44 is. It that old. She’s clearly in great shape.
Early and mid-40s have a high rate of “oops” babies! I am also team G all the way. Too bad Tommy boy!
44 is in medical terms a “geriatric” pregnancy. I think that starts at like 36 or so.
I know someone whose youngest was graduating high school, she was surprised to find herself pg again at 42. Then, at 44 she was actively trying for another baby bc she didn’t want the 2 y/o to grow up “alone.”
Both babies healthy, hubby and her adjusted well.
Folks, even at church, who barely knew this couple openly made comments to them in public.
“Hey Mike, you’ll never retire now.”
No end of class less comments.
I am holding space over here for all the women in their 40s who have had enough of all the nasty, mean and classless comments that come when people find out that they’re trying for a baby, then come to this thread and read some of the comments.
My husband’s sisters and their spouses definitely let us know how stupid we were for trying (I’m 41, he’s 49) and that it was revolting to try and become a parent “at such an old age”. At least I know now, because they told me, that they will never include or accept our child because of the age gap and how our child will “ruin the family unit” because they will be so much younger than their cousins.
People have no empathy and no sense of minding their own business. Women really can’t win or get any approval at all when it comes to having a baby or not. My whole life I’ve had people asking when, and now I’ve apparently hit my expiration date and now I’m catching comments like your friends got.
Oh. My. God. Sending so much love and support to you.
Ruin the family unit?!? These people are not serious, and they are certainly not behaving like family. They are behaving like abusers.
My therapist once said, “You are not ruining your family. You are choosing emotional safety. There is no family to ‘ruin,’ because those people are not behaving like family. Family is love and support, not control and weaponization and cruelty.”
I am so sorry you ever had to hear such malicious words, and I am sorry to all the women choosing to be mothers at Gisele’s age and beyond who came to this thread and read the judgmental comments. Some of these commenters be like, “Oh, women have the right to choose, vote blue,” and then those same commenters are like, “Oh, *she* shouldn’t be having a baby.”
Some people have always been awful to other women with late-age pregancies. I am 60, and my parents lost a daughter at six months to pneumonia back in the early 1960s. This was after they had been married for over 10 years and had suffered through five miscarrigies. Then I was conceived when my Mom was 44 years old. I’ll never forgot the horror stories she told me much later about the many nosy Nellies and Neds who came up directly to her pregnant belly, and said the vilest and hurtful things to her face about having a baby at her age. She shrugged it off, although it hurt like hell. Well, I am here, and had the most amazing parents. Wishing every bit of future happiness to this family, including all of the other siblings.
Much love to you. We tried ivf and after 40, it was too mich for us and our finances. We adopted when I was 47. We are not rich, but we are happy and we are trying to keep healthy.
I think she developed a strong emotional connection with the new dude while married. They share a culture. G didn’t finish high school and despite her success has demonstrated that her values are very rooted in simplicity and family. She and Tom were beautiful but perhaps she felt alone while raising their kids. Maybe she felt taken for granted. Anyway she’s moved on and hopefully Tom will too. I don’t think he will though for a long time….
